To all whom it mdyfconcern is not raised above the tops of the inlet- Beit 'knownthat I, LOUIS ports 3. 1 The sides of the deflector are curveddownwardly and inwardly, so that most of the air entering the ports isdifiused and given a downward direction, and passes beneath and upthrough the gauze to the fuel from the bottom, thus aifordingthe in-.tensest heat there. In. the construction described a slight space isleft between the top of the gauze and the bottom of the deflector, sothat a small portion of the air entering strikes the fuel all along thesides of the iron. This arrangement insures combus- -tlon over theentire bottom and lower edges of the iron where it is most needed.

The cover of the iron, at either end, is provided with elevated portions11, which with the raised points of the iron, form chimneys MAnooLrs, a

ea certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Irons, of which'thefollowing is a speci-. fication. My-"ihvention "relates to sad-ironswhich are heated by meansof combustion within known as carbon orcharcoal irons.

The object of my invention is to produce an iron which shall beuniformly heated over its entire face and in which the source of heatshall be brought in as close proximity to the face as possible.

A further object of the invention is to provide against the dropping orthrowing out of ashes or fuel upon the material being ironed through-theports by which the air is admitted to the fuel.

T 0. this end my invention consists in the eculiar arrangement,construction and combination of parts hereinafter more fully describedand'claimed.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings,, which forms a part of thisapplication Figure 1 is a perspective of the iron, and Fig. 2 is avertical longitudinal section. f

The body of the iron is hollow and provides a fuel chamber 1 at thebottomjof which is located lugs 2 which may conveniently be castintegral -with the iron. Slightly above these lugs are arranged on eachside, one at each end and one in the middle, air inlet-ports 3, thecurrent of air entering therein being governed by regulators 4 which areprovided with knobs 5 The sides of the cover are cut away at 12, so asto fit snugly around the ears 6 to keep it from shuck-ing when the ironis in use. An additional means for this purpose is a ,dependiiig flange13, which fits closely around the inside of the body of the iron. On oneside of the cover is a pin 11k which enters one of the apertures 7-'-7'and on the other side is a pivoted dog 15, which can be 'sivung in andout of the other aperture. The dog may be made tapering, to take up wearand assure a-tight joint. The pin 1% and the iron and permitits readyremoval. Risers 16 are 'cast-in tegral with't-he cover and affordconvenient aneans for attaching the wooden handled? In operation of theiron the cover is removed and "the desired amount and character of fuelplaced in the iron upon the gauze and lighted. The cover is replaced andthe regulators l are adjusted in such manner tliatgthe proper degree ofheat is maintained for the ironiiiglin hand. WVhen the ironing the'ironmay also ben'aised to atlord ajshield con'iplet'ed-"the ports are closedand the against the throwing out of ashes or fuel, 'combustion-eeases.The ashes and unburned should the iron ,be tiltei'l a-nd to eleigatthe'fuel can. then be" removed by simply taking asiiigt-li e'd'raf't Q oift'lie, coi' er. The gauze, in preventing any '.-g'a'1iz "e 9foreign'inatter from being thrown onto the fabric ironed, permits theoperator to move the iron'bzi'ck and forth at any rate of speed desired;and, further, being very thin and of little substance, absorbs a minimumamount of heat and permits the combustion to be carried on in theclosest proximity to the bottom of the iron possible.
